Don’t think “noise matters most” but it’s definitely a close second (safety is # 1) so you’re focusing on an important issue facing #UAM. We’ll need broad community acceptance of enticing new routes and vertiport locations - mitigating noise and pollution will help with this :)

According to it takes a conventional aircraft developer 36 months to develop a training program ahead of service entry. So will new #eVTOL aircraft developers and operators have time to train pilots in time for planned service launch in 2024? The Clock is ticking.

I'm thinking the next version of the #UAM ConOps by the FAA should extend the capability and responsibility of the PSU to manage tactical separation as a predetermined separator. This will extend the conflict horizon and pre-empt the need for subsequent deconfliction in a vacuum.

While the need for a provisioned deconfliction service may be mitigated by the use of designated corridors and conformance monitoring under #UAM, that won't be nearly enough when things begin to heat up in terms of density, tempo and scale.

The basic issue here is neither of these ConOps adequately incorporate a service provider role WRT tactical (in-flight) separation under #UAM, leaving that responsibility to the PIC/operator as the predetermined separator from launch to landing.

A little more to it than just volume. Sure, mass production can help drive down the cost and fares. But for #UAM you also want to offload as much in the way of sensory functions/equipage and avionics to #NextGenUTM (PSU/USS) as you can to cut vehicle and SWAP related costs.
On #eVTOL and #UAM: So, so much of the economic premise is based on volume. Without volume, aircraft won't be cheap. If aircraft aren't cheap, service won't be cheap. If service isn't cheap, there won't be thousands of eVTOLs flying. Will there be enough inertia?
